(Open scene on the walk home)

(Enter Fin and Ashlynn)

Fin: -So that's when Harry stabbed the basilisk through the head, and that's pretty much the end of it. I don't want to give away too much.

Ashlynn: You basically just told me the whole story.

Fin: Oh *little laugh*, Well, at least you'll save money on movie tickets.

Ashlynn: I guess so.

Fin: You should really read the books. The author has an amazing talent with words. She's like a linguistic wizard. No pun intended.

Ashlynn: *Little chuckle*

(Silence, Ashlynn looks around, but Fins eyes are glued to her)

Ashlynn: *Looks back at Fin*

Fin: *Quickly glances away*

Ashlynn: So, what do you have to do at the library?

Fin: I want to start reading up on analytical chemistry. You know, thermal analogy, spectroscopy, things like that.

Ashlynn: Annie Literature-?

Fin: Analytical chemistry, it's a subdivision on chemistry.

Ashlynn: Ohh.

Fin: It's about breaking things down further and examining them closely.

Ashlynn: Yeah, totally.

Fin: You have no idea what I'm talking about right?

Ashlynn: No clue.

Fin and Ash: *Laugh*

Ashlynn: *Phone rings and she picks it up* Hey...What?...Again?...Okay...I'll be home at 6. *Hangs up phone*

Fin: Well, we're here. *Walks up in front of the library* Thanks for walking with me Ash. *Turns to walk away*

Ashlynn: Wait.

Fin: *Turns back*

Ashlynn: Can I come with you? I don't want to interrupt your ana-, chemistry thing. I'll sit on the side or something.

Fin: Yeah, totally, of course. I won't mind at all. I thought you were going home though.

Ashlynn: Yeah me too. Sara wants to paint her room again, for like the seventh time this year. So the painters are there now. They should be gone by six.

Fin: So we'll hang out until six?

Ashlynn: Yuppers.

Fin: Okay! I mean, yeah, I'm good with that.

Ashlynn: Okay.

(Open library scene)

(Ashlynn enters)

Ms. Issabelle: Shh...Who's there? *fixes huge framed glasses* A little less. You'd better not cause any trouble you roughling.

(Fin enters)

Ms. Issabelle: Finnagin! Welcome back, my boy.

Ashlynn: Finnagin?

Fin: Ms.Issabelle, this is Ashlynn.

Ms. Issabelle: I'm sorry lass. I thought you were one of those no good hooligans. It is nice that you've met Finnagin. You two are such a cute couple.

Fin: *Little smile, looks at Ashlynn*

Ashlynn: *Nervous awkward laugh* Oh, no no no. We are just friends.

Fin: *Looks away, the smile fades*
